I'm so, so glad I came across this company. I can't say enough good things from the very first call, to the actual indoor fungal assessment conducted and explained to me by Alexandria. I'd absolutely recommend to anyone who has any suspicion of mold issues or water event.

We decided to get AirMD to do a mold inspection and glad we did! Christian is an excellent technician and pointed out spots that were suspect. He took the time to explain to us his procedure and how we can fix the situation in the future. Hurricane Ian left his mark in the form of water spots on our ceiling, mold on the attic side.

Why Philadelphia Properties Need Asbestos Testing
Philadelphia's building inventory spans centuries, with many structures predating the 1980s asbestos ban containing dangerous materials in insulation, floor tiles, and siding. The city's humid climate and temperature fluctuations can deteriorate asbestos-containing materials, increasing fiber release risks during renovation work. Pennsylvania law requires professional testing before disturbing any building materials, with violations carrying substantial penalties including fines and potential jail time. From South Philadelphia's brick rowhomes to Germantown's older apartment buildings, asbestos lurks in unexpected places, including newer construction using imported materials. Philadelphia's Department of Licenses and Inspections strictly enforces testing requirements, and contractors face license suspension for non-compliance. Don't risk your family's health or legal liability – schedule professional asbestos testing before starting any Philadelphia renovation project.

Protecting Philadelphia Families and Workers from Asbestos Exposure
Asbestos exposure causes devastating diseases including lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis that can remain dormant for decades before symptoms appear. Philadelphia families deserve protection from these preventable health risks, especially during home renovations that can disturb hidden asbestos-containing materials. DIY testing attempts often spread dangerous fibers throughout properties, creating widespread contamination and increased exposure risks for everyone in the building. Professional testing uses proper containment and sampling techniques that prevent fiber release while ensuring accurate results. Property owners who skip professional testing face serious legal liability, including personal injury lawsuits and insurance coverage denial when exposure occurs. Our certified consultants protect Philadelphia residents by identifying asbestos hazards before they become health threats, providing the documentation needed for safe renovation practices. Don't gamble with your family's health – contact AirMD immediately for professional asbestos testing that ensures safe, compliant renovation projects.

Frequently Asked Questions About Asbestos Testing
Federal, state, and county regulations require professional asbestos testing before disturbing any building materials, regardless of building age. This applies to all renovation, demolition, or restoration projects completed in institutional, commercial, public, industrial, and residential buildings containing 4 units or more. The EPA’s National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) mandates testing before any work that could disturb materials. Property owners, contractors, condo associations, and property managers who skip required testing face substantial monetary penalties and potential jail time. Even newer buildings may contain asbestos from imported materials, making professional testing essential for legal compliance and safety.
Professional asbestos testing is a fraction of the cost compared to legal penalties and liability exposure. While testing typically costs hundreds of dollars, violations can result in fines ranging from $25,000 to $75,000 per day, plus potential criminal charges. Insurance companies may also deny claims for improper handling, leaving property owners liable for complete remediation costs that can reach tens of thousands of dollars. For contractors and property managers, violations can result in license suspension, business closure, and personal liability. The small upfront investment in proper testing protects against devastating financial and legal consequences.
